Synopsis

Two plays

<b>Two award-winning plays from the legendary activist and dramatist who has been called “one of the best writers of our times.”

(<i>Lambda Book Report</i>)</b>

<i>The Normal Heart</i>, set during the early years of the AIDS epidemic, is the impassioned indictment of a society that allowed the plague to happen, a moving denunciation of the ignorance and fear that helped kill an entire generation.

It has been produced and taught all over the world.

Its companion play, <i>The Destiny of Me</i> is the stirring story of an AIDs activist forced to put his life in the hands of the very doctor he has been denouncing.

<i>The Normal Heart</i> was selected as one of the 100 Greatest Plays of the Twentieth Century by the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain

<i>The Destiny of Me</i> was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, a double Obie winner, and the recipient of the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Play of the Year.

Introduction by Tony Kushner.

“Wired with anger, electric with rage....

Powerful stuff.”

—<i>The Boston Globe</i>
